Christmas is full of happy moments, but it can also become overwhelming. It can sometimes feel like a never-ending list of tasks, from organising family gatherings and planning meals to decorating your home and wrapping Christmas gifts. That's why it's important to know the best ways to simplify your Christmas preparations so you can fully embrace the joy of the season.

Christmas should be a time to cherish, spent with the people we love, showing them how much they mean to us. Giving gifts is one of the ways we convey love and gratitude. The cost of the gift is not what's important. A non-expensive present wrapped beautifully with care and attention shows more than anything money could buy.

Check out our Christmas wrapping and holiday shipping tips, product recommendations and various ideas for Christmas present decorations. Make the holiday easier than ever and show your love and appreciation with thoughtfully wrapped gifts.

When wrapping Christmas gifts, the tools you use can have a noticeable influence on the finished result. That’s why as well as selecting a suitable Christmas gift wrap, it’s important to choose the right products to use with it. Using blunt scissors or the wrong type of tape can make even the best presents feel less special. Choosing the right tape and scissors, combined with our tips on how to wrap, can make wrapping presents easy, so you’ve got more time to celebrate.

Looking for Christmas present wrapping ideas?

Use these simple Christmas present decorations to take your Christmas wrapping to the next level. Consider the holiday vibe, whether it’s colourful, minimalistic or natural, and adjust it to suit the gift receiver. From simple touches to more intricate ideas, these Christmas present wrapping ideas can make your gifts stand out from the crowd.

Go all out with the traditional Christmas look

Create an authentic festive look by using the red, green, white and gold colours associated with Christmas. You can also cut some paper figures, shapes like bells, snowflakes and stars, and attach them to your presents with Scotch® Double-Sided Tape.
Wish upon a star

Wrapping paper with stars is a Christmas classic, or you can even make your own starry wrapping paper. Simply choose a plain wrapping paper and use some double sided tape to attach paper stars to it. Finally, stick a ribbon star to the top to add the finishing touch.
Combine presents together

Ribbons have always had their place, but sometimes it can be fun to switch things up and wrap your gifts with a completely different style. One fun idea is to pack two gifts separately, one small and one big, and then combine them together. You can attach the smaller one to the top of the bigger one using Scotch® Double-Sided Tape.
Use natural, green elements

Use any natural materials you find around you as extra decorations for your presents. Try adding a pinecone or holly by attaching it under the bow or to the top or sides using Scotch® Double-Sided Tape.
Spice up your Christmas wrapping

For an aromatic present topper, you could use dried fruit such as oranges, cinnamon or other fragrant items and attach them to your Christmas gifts.
Go for a minimal look

Use plain, simple packaging paper to create a minimalist look for your presents. Or use it as a blank canvas to draw pictures or attach Christmas gift decorations using Scotch® Double-Sided Tape as a fun Christmas craft for children.
Create custom labels

Add a customised label to each present using Scotch® Magic Tape and some metallic marker pens. Whether it’s just a name or something more intricate, there’s no limit to the message you can write.
Use paper crafts to add Christmas decorations

Make some Christmas present decorations from paper using scissors, such as trees and snowflakes, and attach them to the present using Scotch® Double-Sided Tape.
